These are the commitments we built Orbuni around. We would like you to hold us to them.

• Applying through us is free. Our fee is only charged after a university sends you an offer letter.

• The same fee whichever university you choose. Nobody here earns more by steering you somewhere.

• Real prices, published. No surprises, no fee that changes after payment.

• Tuition is paid direct to the university. Not to us.

• A named counsellor. You know who is handling your file.

• We tell you when the answer is no. A missing document or a weak fit gets said early, not hidden.

If we ever fall short of this list, tell us here or on WhatsApp. We would rather hear it from you.

We are a small team, and we would rather show you what exists than promise what might. Everything below is live today.

1. A website that tells you the truth. Programmes, universities, study areas, housing with real photos of Istanbul residences, scholarships and guides. Fees are published, not hidden.

2. A free 2-minute assessment. Tell us your goals, budget and grades. You get an honest next step, not a sales pitch.

3. Your own student portal. Applications, documents, offers, your signed agreement and your counsellor in one place. Payment only comes after a university sends you an offer letter.

4. A WhatsApp assistant that answers 24/7, and hands you to a real person when it matters: refunds, visa questions, anything you are worried about.

5. A named counsellor beside you. Not a call centre. A person who knows your file.

6. Partner agencies who work with us through their own partner portal, with clear commission rules.

7. Reminders that keep your file moving. Document chasers, deadline reminders and follow-ups so nothing quietly dies over one missing paper.

8. A team that is growing. Nurudeen (Founder), Godfrey (COO) and now Lenns, our Creative Director.

This list will grow, and we will post each new step here first.

Which one matters most to you? Tell us in the comments.

Please welcome Mr Lenns (Lenns Wordjy Coutilien), who joins the Orbuni team as Creative Director.

He is in charge of creativity, our VSL videos and marketing: the videos, reels, guides and the way we look and sound. Our promise does not change: real prices, no surprises, and a named counsellor beside you. His job is to make that promise easy to see.

Have a video or a guide you wish existed? Tell us in the comments and we will pass it to him.

Welcome aboard, Lenns.

Nurudeen

Before anything else, you should know who is on the other side of your file.

I'm Nurudeen, the founder. I started Orbuni after watching friends and family lose money and years to agents who disappeared, fees that changed after payment, and applications that died over one missing translation. Orbuni is built to be the opposite of that list.

Godfrey is my co-founder. He is based in İstanbul and runs everything between your first enquiry and your first day of class: the university relationships, the document standards and the deadlines. If your application is moving, it is because Godfrey is moving it.

Applying through us is free. Our fee is only charged after a university sends you an offer letter, and it is the same whichever university you choose, so nobody here earns more by steering you somewhere.
